No more excuses, treat yourself better

For all the women who think they are not enough, who put themselves second, who put themselves last. For all the women who “should” on themselves and doubt their strengths and capabilities...

For all the women who desire more … who hear the little voice in the centre of their bellies that says “hello… are you there, do you hear me?”; who feel stuck in their lives yet not sure why. For all the women who have forgotten the power of their breath, the strength of their story and the purpose of their song, this rant is for you. Speak it from the rooftops. Shout it from the core of who you are. Let the words flow like a healing river of compassion, commitment and confidence. May you emerge even more into a greater expression of yourself. Amen Soul Sistah! Amen!I am my own bounty. I am my own beauty. I release and let go of any belief I am not good enough, smart enough, thin enough, tough enough. Enough. I step into my power. No more excuses. I am powerful beyond measure. No more blame. I step into my wisdom. I know what I like. I know what I don’t like. I am an intuitive beacon of light. I am stronger than I know. Even my gentleness oozes strength, power and passion. My virtues of honesty and truth, creativity and joy give birth to infinite possibilities in my life. I step into the more of my life. I desire more — more daring and sharing — more health and wealth — more intimate moments of touch and tenderness — more justice and truth. I crave expansion. I like vulnerability. I desire creative strength. I am the one who gathers. I ask for what I need. I receive help with ease and grace. All of life comes to me with ease, joy and glory. I let go of any self-judgement of having to do it all and be it all … to be loved at all. I embrace the choice that simply being me — my authentic delicious self — is all I have to be and I love me. I let go of the belief that what other people think of me matters. I choose to be myself. I choose to know myself. I allow myself to be myself.All I have is all of me and I accept every inch of me. Every dip and doodle of my body and bones and breast and belly. I love it all. I release and let go of the belief change is hard and perfection is necessary. I release and let go of the need for busyness as a means to be loved and appreciated by others. Goodbye guilt and shame. Hello gratitude and grace. I step into the magic of this day and release the past. I no longer define myself by my past. I create my life and my future in the here and now. Ease and joy and glory are my pathways. I am responsible for my life. I am responsible for nurturing my divinity. I am responsible for my thoughts … for my feelings … for my actions. Every choice I made — I made because I can choose. How awesome! No more finger pointing, should haves and could haves. No more “what if’s” and “if only’s”. Hello freedom. I welcome joy to my table of life. I create space for abundance, light and love in my day. I am worthy of joy and freedom that is my birthright. I believe in the infinite possibilities in my life, in this day, in this moment. I follow my heart. I make my own path. I take small imperfect action towards my dreams. I do it now. How does it get any better than that?Like what you’ve read? Desire more?
